i have had one of these head decks for about 4 months now, and i am wondering has anyone had trouble with random?? it seems like it just keeps playing the same songs over and over again. i drove down to sydney from brisbane (11hr drive) and it drove me nuts playing the same songs, which is really bad when there is over 300 on the disk to choose from.

i use wma mainly. for anyone who has this deck use wma, u can get the same quality of a 128kbps mp3 just using 64kbps in wma (44,100 htz, 16bit stereo). that way all your songs are half the size, and u can fit twice as much on :burnout:

plz let me know fellow 8450 owners if u have had any troubles with random.

but apart from that, an awesome deck, heaps of features, and the lack of the auto scroll isn't that bad. the unit can display like 12 characters so for most songs u can see the whole title!

i searched through the manual for the p8450MP and the only thing i could find to do with a number limit for mp3/wma playback was that 'it is possible to playback up to 253 folders on one disc' on the bottom of page 50. i couldn't find anything about a number limit for mp3 files. but u might have a point, i will try with less files on a disc

but it could just be a dodgy radom, i know the last head deck i had (a sony), its random was shocking (going through a 10 disc cd stacker). so who knows. let me know your thoughts!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
